Map data by postcode

Hi There,

 

I am looking to map sales data to postcode regions in a map of northern Ireland.

I can map to county level but it doesn't seem to work after that.  Any one any ideas?

 

Thanks,

  • I'm not familiar with Northern Ireland regions and postcodes, took some from wiki and it works somehow (attached). Another story Map Charts is quite sensitive to names, both for columns and regions, plus doesn't support low level of detalization.

      Hi Sergei,

       

      Thanks so much for your help.

      I have tried replicating what you have done and it doesn't seem to zoom in on N.Ireland. Just shows the uk.  See attached.  Can you see where I am going wrong?

       

      Also on the second map you have sent it doesn't show the whole of Northern Ireland.  Is there anyway to change this to show the map and just have the postcode areas show coloured?

       

      Thanks again,

      Martina

        Hi Martina,

         

        There was no file attached, please submit.

         

        Entire country - I'll try, but so far not sure how to change. It shows or entire UK or only areas with data.

  • Can you send a screenshot of the table you are using for the data? is the heading of a column PostCode? Try ZipCode instead

      Hi Wyn,

       

      Thank you.  I think I was going down to street level i.e. BT35 2SP rather than BT35.

       

      Still can't get it working right though. :-(
